Yet another Clutch / Throw-out Bearing ?
Push the clutch pedal in, get a whinning sound (almost like a P/S pump low on fluid), release the clutch pedal and the whinning sound goes away.
No whinning sound when in idle, or any gear, only when the clutch pedal is pushed in. I am thinking it is a throw-out bearing, any ideas? |

Could also be a bad pressure plate that is not disengaging fully when you press the pedal and is scraping the FW
I hate tranny work

I would think if the clutch wasn't fully disengaged that this would not be the case. |

It could be that one of the pressure plate fingers is messed up and rubbing the throw-out bearing funny.

Mine makes noise until you push the clutch in.

Usually(meaning 9.9 times out of 10) a throwout bearing makes noise until you push the clutch in....yours is the opposite...which is odd.

Re: Yet another Clutch / Throw-out Bearing ?
if it's a clicking noise; I found out it's a destroyed pilot bearing! Mine was toast, like a driveshaft U-joint gets. Clutch was actually in good shape if anyone wants it. It's a heavy-duty SACHS but I wouldn't reuse the throwout-bearing.
Craig; you can shoot the TOB with a little grease/lube through the clutch-fork window. It may quietdown. But watch out for getting it on the disk...not the best place for lube. |
